Early in the day in the tropics they pick their breakfast from the trees
when the evening comes then the steel drums make a rhythm through the breeze
All the work is done in the morning sun with sweat and dedication
in the midday heat they all take a seat for some herb and some meditations

Go slow got no better place to go
go slow enjoy your time
All the tourists come lay out in the sun for to darken up their skin
while the natives lay back in the shade feeling warm down deep within
When the stars shine bright in the breezy night then the band begins to play
rockin' to and fro doing the calypso, soca, ska and reggae

chorus

For a love that's find take a little time let your mama feel it better
gently stroke her hair when you know care, giving sweet caresses pet her
'Cause a steady beat and a natural heat make a thick and a magic potion
let your heart keep time rhythm fall and climb and a rockin' steady motion

chor
